Ask Marilyn: Can You Feel the Love?

Rick R. of El Cerrito, California, writes:

Marilyn: In your response to the question about tickling, you wrote, "It's something to think about before you ever touch another person in any way that is less than loving." (January 1, 2012) My question is: Does the person receiving the loving touch feel more love than the person giving the loving touch?

Marilyn responds:

My answer doesn't apply to love. Love is an emotion, not a physical sensation.
